History

Origin

The Spider was seemingly a super-soldier created by Gregory Stark in his plot to take down the authoritarian government opposed to the USA.[1]

It was never revealed from what source he had his powers, although he once jokingly claimed to be a clone made out of the DNA of both Spider-Man and Prof. Xavier who came from the future "with a warning for humanity", although the veracity of that statement is in doubt.[2]

Avenger

The Spider was a member of the newly revived Avengers, but was confined in a clear cell and was kept under constant surveillance, suggesting that he was formerly a criminal. He was said to be crazy and has even caused a technician to commit suicide. He enjoyed reading books, which also suggests that he may have been intelligent. Gregory Stark referred to him as "it", suggesting his true nature to be inhuman or especially repulsive.[3]

North Korea uprising

Under the orders of Gregory Stark, he led a falsely local but massive superhuman uprising in fact orchestrated by the S.H.I.E.L.D. in North Korea, destroying the North Korean Army before both New Ultimates and Hulked-out Avengers came to stop this masquerade.[2]

Abilities

The Spider is a truly brilliant orator and psychological manipulator, having been able (after having seen a Hannibal movie) to make someone commit suicide with only a few conversations.[citation needed]
